LOL NBA Refs Rob SAS

[Snakehead]

So tiring.

If Miami wins anything: NBA is rigged.

The game was not unevenly called for Miami last night.  Stop it people.  There may have been questionable calls, NO SURPRISE, but they didn't lean one way or the other.

The difference is the 'questionable calls' all go in favor of Miami at the end of close games like this. That is the difference. I am not saying it was the only factor but they are allowed a very visible advantage imo.

How did they all go to MIA?

Were Miami even called for a foul in the last few min? Every questionable call went Miami's way.

If the NBA was so rigged LeBron would have gone to the line on the Green drive to the basket, no?  Or did they miss Stern whispering in their earpiece for that play?

Yet, I saw at least 3 times refs swallowed their whistle for Miami in the last min. of the game! That is the differemce. Miami always gets the most leeway on calls esp. at the end of close games.

Which calls were whistles swallowed for?  And is that just Miami or don't refs almost always swallow their whistles at the end of games and allow physical play?

Ray allen against Parker obvious missed call.
Bosh body check block to name a few.

I think they would be called if the Spurs had done it. It is my opinion. If you disagree that is fine. I am done arguing about it

Don't think I saw that "obvious" call.

And I don't think Bosh's was much of a foul.  I like physical play being allowed and beyond that, he stuffed the shot before the body came into play.

You can have your opinion.  Just again, why are any of you guys watching if you honestly think the NBA is this rigged?  The comments of this type, if people believe them, are mind boggling to me as comments made by people who continue to watch.

Body contact came first, I believe.  This can't be a no-call:

Well your view is mind boggling to me as well. I would love to ignore that Miami seems to get away with more then any other team does. I am not a fan of either of these teams but that is what I saw. I am not saying Spurs did not make any mistakes and that it was all the refs fault but they were a factor imo as they always seem to be for the Heat.

Blocks would be alot easier to get if this was allowed. I have never seen this not called no matter how much leeway the refs are giving. It does not much matter how much contact there was. This is a foul at any time of a game imo.

James is 23-3 in the playoffs when Crawford's in the game. He is 41-50 when Crawford is not in the game. Do the math.

Thats one amazing stat. TP

where r u gettin that stat from? lebron has played in 137 playoff games. 23-3 under crawford is 26 games, and 41-50 is 91 games. that totals up to 117. am i calculating somethin wrong? math is my worst subject.

I did the math.  Your made-up stat is incorrect.

[anthony83]

For me, last play is fault by Allen to Ginobili clearly, I agree with Crawford - Lebron.

[CelticConcourse]

NBA was rigged.

Didn't do all the math, but looked up a some facts.

Since LeBron has been on the Heat, he has lost 21 playoff games. (15-7 so far in '13, 16-7 in '12, and 14-7 in '11).

Joey Crawford has reffed 6 of those 21 losses.  That seems pretty ordinary.

Losses reffed by Crawford since 2011:
5/28/13
6/3/12
5/15/12
6/9/11
6/2/11
4/24/11

yeah, imagine if parker just bodied Ray Allen like that in the game-tying shot near the end of regulation. Bosh got the block on top but wiped him out too. Can't do that against layups, and especially against perimeter shots

[pp34isthe1]

Spurs lost that game on their own. In fact if they lose this finals it is their fault they couldn't close out game 6. It was all but theirs the last 24 seconds.

Last 10 seconds of regulation and overtime, there should be alot of "no calls". A player should have to literally be tacked for a call to decide the fate of the game. That's how I want it, other wise what's the fun of free throws for a finals win?

Manu was fouled at the end of regulation but come on he should have known better to drive in on 3 guys. A step back fadeaway would of been better. The refs are not calling a foul in the deciding seconds of the championship game.

Bosh's block was perfect considering the situation, I have no problem with the body contact this is the NBA finals.

[ChainSmokingLikeDino]

There were whistles, and non-whistles, both ways. The Spurs got tons of close calls go their way (especially in the 3rd). Putting the outcome of this game on the ref's in any way is ridiculous. IT is easy to say, oh Miami would have got the call on the Manu drive, but how many drives this series, and this game, were there not bail out whistles for LeBron drives?

No one got robbed by the refs. Not San Antonio in this game. Not Miami in any others.

Seems like, rather than look at the plays of the game, everyone's recourse is to immediately in the aftermath look at the ref's. This series has been very well officiated.

Just calculated it.  You're wrong.

LeBron is 76-39 (66.1%) in playoff games in which Joey Crawford IS NOT an official.

He is 11-11 (50%) in playoffs games where Joey Crawford IS an official.

76 + 39 + 11 + 11 = 137 (playoff games LeBron has played in; will be 138 on Thursday).

It should be noted that the Heat are 2-0 in this series when Crawford is reffing (he reffed games 2 and 6).
